201765 This week's author interview with Erica Graham!

201765 "Sorry Maam, that credit card is declined as well."
"Goddamn it! Are you stupid? Just run it again!" Helena exploded at the poor clerk behind the hotel desk. As soon as she said it she regretted it, but it did make her feel bad.
The clerk sighed but ran it again anyway. Ten times a day he dealt with idiot customers that had no money or expired cards. One day soon he was just going to start slapping people.
"Sorry, declined. Again." He replied feeling better.
"Fine! I'll just sleep on the streets then. Forget It!"
"Excuse me? I couldn't help but notice you were having some trouble? May I be of assistance?" It gave me some sort of perverse pleasure to be the architect of her fall, yet step in and offer her a life line.

201765 Hey, could email someone with my books to submit? I have the information already sitting on a word doc lol

201765 I like to spread mine out. I'll do two two day promotions and a single day. This give me three promotions once a month. Also I try to do midweek as I've heard that that's the best time. If you have several books you can do them alternately so one book is on one week one the next so on.

201765 Well Erin, we can all register our interest, and then.... we will need to pick a date, probably two days in a row to make it easier to cover timezones etc.

Can I ask how you used your free days Alex? I just a system on how I use mine and was curious about how you used yours
Feb 27, 2017 04:38PM

201765 Okay, so if you're enrolled with Kindle Unlimited you get 5 free days of promotions per 90 days. I was thinking that we could all do our free day or days or a weekend together? If we got 10,20,30 authors all promoting their books as well as the others, we might be able to cross promote.

If anyone is interested we could organize numbers and a date that everyone is happy with.

201765 One of my best author friends, someone that has gone above and beyond with help & advice, kindly went out of her way (once again) to point me back in the right direction. She knows who she is (batman) & along with her (robin) I would still be banging my head against a wall. I won't name these two lovely ladies for fear of giving their ego's too much of a swell ;-)

Self-promotion and social media are always easy to push aside and often gets forgotten when you're busy getting paid for other things immediately.

Don't forget social media and since I joined this group with 4 members the mods have gone above and beyond to provide a helpful and friendly place to help each other out.

Thanks to you all, that's my good thing that has happened today.

Thanks, Carole & Julie (I lied about not naming you) I can do that, I'm writing this particular story!

201765 Hey all, in my spare time, not! I started a Twitter group and Facebook group for promoting books. It doesn't cost anything, just tag my Twitter account and follow it, and I'll retweet any of your tweets. I'll also be retweeting any tweets with the #NavIndieworld tag from now on.

201765 Well, when I was writing How To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse, I was attacked by walkers! Seriously! Not seriously, but would have been an exciting story to add to this thread!

201765 Hi all, my wife and I have recently started our own website to help authors get their books ready for publication. We offer a variety of services, but formatting at the moment is our main focus.

My wife does all the formatting for paperback & e-books. She has been working for a much larger company, as well as a freelancer.

If you need any formatting check out the site and just write her to let her know you saw this post and she'll might just offer you a special discount ;-)

http://www.indiepublishinggroup.com/

We also offer free author interviews for indie authors in the blog section!

Thanks!

201765 She unlocked the front door, throwing her bag and keys onto the antique hall table, not even worried if she scratched it. Her late husband would be appalled, but what did she care about him? He was long gone.
Helena was still irritated about how her evening had turned out.
Stupid.
She should have easily had enough money to buy that entire bus, let alone pay for a measly bullshit bus fare.
Her asshole ex-husband was the one who took care of any financial needs she may have, she simply worked to keep herself amused.
First thing in the morning she was going to call her bank and let them know exactly what she thought of their service.
As she threw her wet clothes towards the hamper, Helena walked nude down the hall and into her luxurious bathroom, starting the bath running.

201765 Okay, cool! I'm sorry, playing catch up on all of this. I'm just going to add everything to a word document and email you, struggling to put all the information together.

Just an opinion from an idiot that hasn't been paying attention and is trying to get all this done lol

One thread, clear information on what to post, where to submit or email it, and lock it so only mods can add, no conversation. I'm being a noob here, but struggling to sort through all of this lol

But, love the site, it looks awesome, love the idea and sincerely appreciative!
